If I Had Only Known

Jana Stanfield, Craig Morris

If I had only known it was our last walk in the rain
I’d keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand, like a lifeline to my heart
And underneath the thunder we’d be warm
If I had only known it was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known I’d never hear your voice again
I’d memorize each thing you ever said
And on these lonely nights, I could think of them once more
And keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known I’d never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my heart
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there
But then there came a day when I closed my eyes
And you slipped away

If I had only known it was my last night by your side
I’d pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you smiled at me, I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love for you goes on and on
If I had only known, If I had only known

The love I would’ve shown
If I had only known

Alternate bridge (the one that Reba used)
You were the treasure in my heart
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware
I foolishly believed that you would always be there
But then there came a day when I turned my head
And you slipped away
